Tofu with pepper and pork

Tofu with pepper and pork is one of my favorite dishes. It's quite easy to make and has a nice bite to it. It's not too spicy, but has very nice flavors. If you don't watch out, you keep on eating it. Important for this dish is the kind of tofu. We use "five spice tofu" and then the non-smoked version.

Yummy!

Ingredients:

5 square pieces of five spice tofu (香干xiang1 gan1) - sliced into thin strips
1 green pepper (little bit spicy) - sliced and chopped small
little bit red pepper
little bit garlic (1 clove)
about 150 gram pork meat
salt, soya sauce (light)
optional: some fermented soya beans
optional: chopped celery

Prepare:

slice the meat in thin strips
marinate the meat shortly with some salt, cornstarch, cooking wine
heat oil in the wok
add the green, red peppers and garlic first; shortly stirfry
add the meat and stir good. The cornstarch mixture will make the meat stick to the pan easily
stir till the meat is almost cooked, about 1 minute
get everything out, perhaps you now need to wash the wok (if it's too dirty)
add oil to the wok and add the sliced strips of tofu
bake it till it's a little golden/brown
add the meat/pepper mixture back

stir fry for a little while and it's done!
